Rapper 2pec allegedly fled on a jet ski after racking up a $600 restaurant tab.Facebook

An aspiring Australian rapper named 2pec took more of a dine-and-splash approach to evading his $621 bill at an oceanfront restaurant, fleeing straight into the ocean when the check came, police said.

The rapper, whose birth name is Terry Peck, ordered two lobsters, a baby octopus appetizer, a few beers, and 21 oysters shooters (oysters dropped into shots of liquor) at Omeros Bros Seafood Restaurant on Australia’s Gold Coast this past Sunday night, according to news.com.au.

When the bill came, he allegedly dashed into the waters off Main Beach, sparking a Jet Ski pursuit in which authorities had to arrest him underwater, where he was hiding, according to reports. He later said he was rushing to the aid of a pregnant friend, and that anyway, the lobster was a bit overcooked — which the restaurant’s owner denied.

Peck then appeared in court on Monday, facing two counts of obstructing police and one count of stealing. He was granted bail on the conditions that he wouldn’t return to Omeros Bros, and will appear again on May 4.

He joins the ranks of other famous dine-and-dash dudes, including one in California who has become notorious on the dating app Tinder for leaving his dates midmeal to evade paying the bill, as CBS Los Angeles reported.

2pec — not to be confused with the late 2Pac — posts some of his hits on ReverbNation, including “Don’t Stop Loven Me,” in which he raps that if your diamond ring goes missing, forgive him, “it’s just the thug inside.”
